WASHER

For technicians troubleshooting seepage, Washer is a part that’s often inspected and replaced when failure is confirmed (part 03-1725-01). Disconnect power before service. Reinstall so nothing pinches, rubs, or binds once the unit is back together. Replacing a worn part early can prevent secondary damage to nearby components. Seals, gaskets, and washers prevent leaks at joints and interfaces. Once compressed or torn, drips often return even after re-tightening. Symptoms can present as seepage, intermittent operation, abnormal noise, or a cycle that won’t complete normally—depending on where this part sits in the system. If the fault changes with vibration or after moving panels, look for borderline fitment, loose connectors, or wear marks around the installation area. If the part interacts with water, do a leak check during the first run and again after a short operating period. Clean the area around the repair so debris doesn’t interfere with fitment or sealing surfaces. Recheck fasteners after a short run-in period; vibration can loosen hardware if it isn’t seated correctly.

Take a photo before disassembly so you can confirm orientation and fastener locations during reassembly.
